> this work, we have learned that the meaning/use of the
> SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE environmental variable used by OMPI (and LAM-MPI
> as well as others) to extract required allocation information was
> changed beginning with SLURM 1.2, and the info we are seeking was
> shifted to SLURM_JOB_CPUS_PER_NODE. Since SLURM is now on release
> 1.3.7 and above, this clearly occurred some time ago.

> What I propose to do (per LLNL's recommendation) is modify the SLURM
> ras module to check for SLURM_JOB_CPUS_PER_NODE first and use that
> value if found - if not found, then fall back to using
> SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE. This will make us fully compatible with more
> recent SLURM releases while retaining backward compatibility with pre-
> SLURM 1.2 versions (assuming anyone out there is running something
> that old).
>
> Given that 1.2.8 and 1.3.0 have not yet been released, we (LANL) would
> like to get this change into those releases. It is a minor code change
> (I will insert it into trunk so people can see) and easily tested on
> any SLURM machine.
